Synopsis: Our project is about the effects our economy has on endangered wildlife. Throughout the years, the endangered species list has grown to an astonishing rate. We began to study and find out how this will effect us. It turns out that the places that have huge populations also have more endangered animals. We have discovered that if we don't have some of these animals, then our lives will be devoid of some of our greatest resources. For example, if we lose predators then the prey will begin to overpopulate. Not only will we lose the food chain cycles, but we will also begin to lose the knowledge of these extinct creatures. To conclude, we may not feel the effect of the endangered species yet, but in the future it could be a matter of life or death.

Essential Questions:
How is the economy related to endangered species?
How does this effect the future?
How do the endangered species help us?
Which do you think we will choose, the economy or the animals?
Answers to the essential questions:
How is the economy related to endangered species? Our economy affects many things in the world. One of these things is our endangered species. The economy can either help or hurt the animals. It can help them by providing money to some of the groups that are attempting to save some of the species. If they had just a little bit more monetary support it could help the animals a lot. The economy could also hurt the endangered species by simply ignoring them. If no one does anything to help the animals they will be gone without doubt in just a few short years.
How does this affect the future? This affects the future in many ways. One of the biggest ways is that the animals that are endangered now will be gone in the future. Some of the animals that are on the endangered species list help us now. If we don't do anything to help protect them, we won't be able to use them as an advantage in the future.
How do the endangered species help us? All of the endangered species may seem like a bad thing to many people, but they might actually help us. They can help us because the prey won't overpopulate, the food chain will be back to normal, and they could possibly be the key to cures of future diseases.
Which do you think we will choose, the economy or the animals? Our opinions about this question are that the economy will overpower the animals. As of right now, the economy is more important than the endangered animals, and we don't think this will change.
Conclusion:
To conclude, we think that the economy will overpower the endangered species of the world. We have learned that all the species are very important because they keep balance in the world.
